COVENTRY'S Godiva Festival has been shortlisted for two accolades in the UK Festival Awards.

The event, which took place at the city's War Memorial Park in July and attracted performers including The Enemy and Human League, will compete against the likes of Glastonbury and Creamfields in its categories.

The free city festival is up for Best Family Festival and Best Toilets.

Godiva Festival organiser Mick Emerson said: "We are thrilled to be shortlisted for two UK Festival Awards. It highlights how far we have come over the past 10 years and it is the best reward possible for all the hard work put in.

"This year's Godiva Festival was the best yet and it's a real honour to be compared with widely renowned festivals such as The Big Chill.

"We hope that the people of Coventry support their festival and vote."
